Lincoln hoped to maintain the freedom of the slaves through the emancipation proclamation. The catch to this is that the slaves only became free if the Union won the war.

How and why slaves resisted slavery?

Ok, you're an idiot if you can't answer this yourself. What would you do if you were a slave, locked up and forced to work without any hope of freedom? As far as slave owners were concerned, slaves deserved to be treated very poorly. The slaves resisted because it was their only hope to be free.


What did the slaves hope to be set free?

I think the question should be, "What hope did the slaves have on being set free?" The answer is, most had no hope in the 1600-1800's. If you were born or sold into slavery, it was pretty much the end of all hope. Some thought of escaping the Northern states, which had no slaves, but most were captured. If you were running away to freedom, it was a risky job. May men were willing to go without sleep just to find the slave. But, during the Civil War, a spark of hope shone through. And when Abe linclon issued the Emancipation Proclemation, hope was once again restored. Although that abolished slavery, most white people were still racist against them.


Who were some great black leaders in the civil war?

Harriet Tubman was a good leader. she wasn't a leader in the war, but she led slaves to Canada and their freedom by using the underground railroad which was a group of people who helped slaves get to Canada by, housing them for the night or even driving them in carraiges to other slave housers or towns. hope this helps!!
